TRANSPORTADOR TUBULAR DE ARRASTE - DRAG

Abstract

This work aims to study the main mechanical components of low-cost automotive equipment. Such equipment has been developed as an alternative to the mechanical and pneumatic conveyors currently used by the processing industry. The tubular drag conveyor - Drag is a closed mechanical continuous transport system. Planned to present low energy consumption, it uses a pinched cable to move any material at high speeds, inside a closed tube. It is a system created from the observation of mechanical drag components, mainly the Redler Chain, and pneumatic systems, combining the benefits of both transport systems. The productive sector is increasingly investing in production and transportation solutions to obtain more efficient and economical methods and to meet strict standards of safety at work, sanitary control, and care for the environment. The Drag system aims to meet this demand in the most diverse industrial environments. mainly ore processing, chemical industries, grain processing and food. From an explanation of the constructive characteristics of the DRAG, a deductive research method is used to perform data analysis on the applied materials, and the main theoretical guidelines for the design of the system, preceding the elaboration of a theoretical mechanical system. and the creation of a universal prototype in future works.
